“We fought
along the Cameroonian border. You lied that you killed 60 of our fighters, that
you arrested 20 of our men, that you freed 5,000 of your people,” the Boko
Haram leader said.

“Paul
Biya, is it that you can’t live off lies? Is it with this that you are going to
convince the West, your leaders? It is unfortunate. Be careful, Paul Biya.”Shekau
also said that the caliphate he declared in August 2014 “is running smoothly,”
apparently in a bid to rubbish reports that the terror sect has lost much of
the territory it used to hold in the Northeast, especially the Sambisa Forest
that once served as its base.

Shekau was
last seen on camera in a video message in December last year after the Nigerian
army declared it had flushed out Boko Haram fighters from Sambisa Forest.
